Matt grey and red, no glint to catch the eye in some conditions and obviously a poor compromise from having to use a mil scheme.
Personally I like the all yellow, easy to see over all terrain
Perhaps you should follow the USA hunting regulations and paint them all Blaze Orange (with white markings)?

That is well-visible in virtually all lighting and background conditions, and is already associated with SAR (exposure suits).

Safety orange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
